Another Fan Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Which is more important to have to do well in life? Or a 50/50 combination of each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommonCents Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Just be smart enough not to shoot a 50 caliber at your chest from a foot away with a book inbetween you and the bullet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 I find the people that claim "street smart" tend to just be flat dumb. Though the ones that are actually aware and very plugged into their surroundings and intuitive but not super educated can do very well in life. I suppose if defining doing well as being connected and happy that type of intelligence is especially important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaoulDuke79 Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 A degree will get you in the door, and good ol common sense will get you the rest of the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Like most things in life, balance is critical. You need enough book smarts to get a shot. Street smarts and learning along the way can get you where you want to go from there unless it's a very technical field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I decided a long time ago it wasn't worth getting into disputes on the road over a few feet of concrete. Too many idiots out there with their ego on the line every moment of the day.

Augie Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 I worry about what kook has a gun and is just crazy enough to use it. Not entirely for that reason, if someone needs to change lanes, I will almost ALWAYS let them in. Traffic in Atlanta sucks, let's all just try to make it a little easier.

mead107 Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Good common sense growing up will help in college and the rest of your life. I have known some very book smart people who are just plain stupid when it comes to doing basic stuff around the house and yard. If it is just street smart we are talking about (drugs, guns, and prostitution) then pick up a book Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
